Alabama’s Tuscaloosa Regional field will include Wisconsin (28-21), Oregon State (28-26) and Middle Tennessee State (39-20).

Alabama plays MTSU at 8:30 p.m. Friday, following a 6 p.m. first pitch between Wisconsin and Oregon State at Rhoades Stadium.

As the 12th seed, should the Crimson Tide advance, it will match up against the winner of the Seattle Regional, where No. 5 seeded Washington is hosting Boise State, Minnesota and Texas.

The Tide qualified thanks to the nation’s 15th-ranked RPI, which a regular season-ending home sweep of a Top-10 ranked Texas A&M boosted.

The Tide’s regional hosting streak appeared in doubt during a difficult run through conference play. Alabama dropped five of its first seven SEC series before sweeping the Aggies and knocking off then-No. 15 Auburn in the first game of the SEC Tournament on Wednesday.

It’s also Alabama’s 20th straight regional appearance in the 22-year history of the program, all coming under head coach Patrick Murphy.
